I am so lazy
I know I should work on switching that red-spot to rodents, but I managed to get Jeff to run an errand near the pet-shop, so he could stop by there as well and pick up minnows, which I know she'll eat
it's been a bit dry and worms are scarce too
the damn beast won't take trout pieces either
I am feeling very reluctant to get live mice, but I feel I ought to, just to see whether it's rodent or dead meat she objects to
well right now I wouldn't be up for getting live mice anyway, so minnows it is . . .

I ended up with all this unprinted newsprint wrapping paper the movers supplied as padding
whenever I get too burned out and numb-skulled to do anything more challenging, I shred the paper
the shredder hates the stuff
it's a bit soft and if I'm not careful, it clogs
the motor often sounds kind of tortured and I have to make certain I it feed that stuff in a particular way
it's a bit of a pain, but worth it, because it makes fantastic free baby bedding
I'd accumulated a whole bucket and the shredder full and came home today to find the whole lot sitting in a recycling bag on the sidewalk . . .
I was very good
I didn't screech or anything
he did sort it back out of the recycling for me
he is a very nice person

Feeding live mice is a real pain, we have a young burmese python that will only eat live, weve tried everything to convert him. Wet mouse, dry mouse, guts exposed, scenting, none of it works, and the shop we buy mice from is getting a bit suspicious. its so frustrating.

I had the same thing with a young Burmese male, years ago. In the end I starved him for a full two months, after which he accepted pre-killed.....I think he would have accepted macaroni cheese by that time! Not at all relevant, but his name was Ramjamfull Prajapatti!!

we have tried not feeding him for a few weeks several times and still no interest, i think its the person who we got him from fault, he started him on live for his first meals.

[adamanteus]

Have you tried rolling a dead mouse across the floor in front of him?

[ScimitarX]

yes, he doesnt even look at it, its even hard to get make him have by making him angry, he just moves away tongue flicking looking at other things, we know hes hungry though, he takes live instantly. We dont like to keep doing it but at this point at least its food, he hasnt grown much and is a bit on thin side so we just want to build him up a bit. We know other people who had burms of the same person and they all have similar problems.
